B

A movie that captures the gut-ache of ruminating on lost love, and the pain of an expiration date hanging over a brief encounter that maybe doesn't have to end.

An apparently slight, but deeply rewarding film, Luxor reveals its purpose slowly, in fragments of growing significance.

3/5

Luxor offers a strange marriage of travelogue, post-traumatic stress disorder, spirituality and something like romance.

3/5

The main attractions here are the settings and Riseborough’s delicately drawn but intensely focused interpretation of an enigmatic character who, played by a lesser actor, would have seemed like little more than a cipher.

2.5/5

The reunion story set in the ancient Egyptian city is promising, alas Andrea Riseborough's immense talent is pretty much wasted in this meandering and tedious movie.

4/5

Luxors thoughtful tone and leisurely pace wont be for everyone, but London-born filmmaker Durra has crafted a character study that rewards those who pay attention.
